Jason
Taylor’s classmates include Neal Brose and Clive Pike, while Mr.
Nixon is his headmaster. Madame Eva van Outryve de Crommelynck tutors
Jason in poetry. The Vicar of Saint Gabriel’s’ wife is Gwendolin
Bendincks. Neal
Brose appears as an adult in Mitchell’s novel Ghostwritten.
Clive Pike and Mr. Nixon are from the short story “Acknowledgments,”
which features the now-grown Pike trying to get a book published by
Timothy Cavendish, another character from Ghostwritten.
Mitchell’s story “Muggins Here” is a sequel to
“Acknowledgments.” Madame Eva van Outryve de Crommelynck and
Gwendolin Bendincks are from Cloud
Atlas, which was brought into the CU by Joe Hill's novel NOS4A2.
